Thank you It has all been a big surprise to me that I can actually have this done. That will certainly be something i will ask him next time. Feeling excited!!!

Hi everyone
I'm and wondering if anybody has had the sleeve done with a Ileostomy bag and how was their experience.I have had my initial consultation and the Dr has preformed the surgery on previous patients with Ileostomy and Crohns, i'm just a bit curious of peoples results and experiences if any.
